On
Australia Day we come together as a nation to celebrate what's great
about Australia and being Australian. It's the day to reflect on what we
have achieved and what we can be proud of in our great nation. It's the
day for us to re-commit to making Australia an even better place for
the future.

Australia
Day, 26 January, is the anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet
of 11 convict ships from Great Britain, and the raising of the Union
Jack at Sydney Cove by its commander Captain Arthur Phillip, in 1788
(you can read a comprehensive history of the evolution of Australia Day here).Though
26 January marks this specific event, today Australia Day celebrations
reflect contemporary Australia: our diverse society and landscape, our
remarkable achievements and our bright future. It also is an opportunity
to reflect on our nation's history, and to consider how we can make
Australia an even better place in future.On Australia Day, over
half of the nation’s population of 21 million attend either an organised
community event, or get together with family and friends with the
intention of celebrating our national day. Many more spend the public
holiday relaxing with family and friends.Yet Australia Day is
much more than barbeques and fireworks. It is more than another public
holiday. It is more than the pride and excitement of new citizens who
call themselves Australian for the first time on 26 January after being
conferred citizenship.At its core, Australia Day is a day driven
by communities, and the celebrations held in each town, suburb or city –
unified by the celebration of what’s great about Australia and being
Australian – are the foundation of its ongoing success.
